Screw those bad boys in...Its looks smoother. If you do sell the car, then spend 10.83 x 2 and get some new plastic ones...IF the buyer HAPPENS to NOT like them. I doubt it though....Gotta get the screws in there.

And the TL trim kit is $205.

I have Paypal guys...a business account. I am going to set it up so I can be paid via credit card, or Paypal...and obviously I can take check or money order. I will have that set up by ordering time. Adam offered me to use his account...but sending the money to him, to me, then to the manufacturer would cost. So I'll let you guys know when it's time

Am I clear in understanding that the prototype pics have not been posted yet?

I'm very anxious to see them. Also, Austin, you quoted $55 for the CL sills...is that per side, or total?

GREAT WORK, by the way.

Okay...just spoke with Jeff again...wanted to let you guys know what's up. We have final designs for the sills for all 4 car models, CL, CLS, TL, TLS...and yes, we will also have a just ACURA one and probably an INSPIRE one as well...but the first to come out will be the CL and CLS ones.

The final prices are confirmed, as I posted before, at
$65 for TL sills, $45 for blanks
$55 for CL sills, $40 for blanks
And the TL trim kit is $205.

I should have in my sweaty little hands a set of sills and a trim kit for my TLS by the end of next week or the beginning of the following week. That's about 1.5 weeks from now. I will start taking orders immediately after I get them and put them on to test quality and fitting...so expect to order in 2 weeks, and have them at your door in 2.5. These dates are final as well.

Lastly we have the final designs for the sills below...again, ACURA and INSPIRE will come later.

CL:

CLS:

TL:

TLS:


Take care all. Woohoo!

One more question (sorry, I don't want to read every single post in this thread)...do these sills light up as well (indiglo)??

Just curious. I think they will be awesome either way.

You can get some sort of neon tape and cut out the lettering on the sills and put the tap under that....I think.

Ok. I'm not sure I want to mess with the design. They'll probably look best if left just the way they are.

OMG you're welcome

pwille:
Argh! I have to read them all! Yeah...indiglo CAN be done...albeit not as cheaply as I am quoting the sills here. It would involve ordering a set with the letters cut out...and how they could do the Type S symbol cut out I don't rightly know...and then placing a strip of neon behind them...which can be had for $25 or less. Not too difficult...but the cost of cutting out the letters may be more than I quoted. I'm going to defer this though until after we have the normal ones done...just like I am deferring the INSPIRE sills.

What's the TL Trim Kit look like ? How do these Babies "adhere" to the Body Sill itself ?

Sorry if these are redundant questions

Awesome work Austin!

One question I didn't see -- looks like these will be ready to go to production very soon (you even have pricing.)
Do we PM you now with an order, or do we wait until you let us know?

Thanks again!

Goddamn!! All I can say is that if the final product looks as good as these drawings, you're putting me $55 more into debt and I'll have new shit in the car! :-D

Like Frankie used to say... R-E-L-A-X.
With over 22 pages in this thread, and remembering reading posts like "delivery in a couple weeks", I didn't want to miss out on the buy. Sheesh...

PS. I'm hoping these sills will increase my hp by at least 5 at the wheel.
